My Stevie story
I kind of touched on it a tad on the carol Anne Harris post I was linked. I was young so I had no idea what adults were really up to, but my Mom had a great friend, Barbara, and she invited my Mom to go to a Tusk rehearsal because we were in town visiting Barbara. I had always listened to my Mom talk about FM, stevie other band at that time etc, and she played the music and I just thought she was some fairy goddess. On this night I some how got to go. Stevie had 3 girlfriends there and they sat with us for about an hour. She was very jumpy and full of energy and buzzed around like a bee. Talking, talking, lots of laughing. I was really taken back because I had never met a woman or a human being like this, plus I was freaked out that I was meeting what I thought was a fairy goddess. They talked about things I did not really understand, girl talk and things that went over my head. There were a lot of people coming to the table and running off etc., Stevie hugged me and took a tiny piece of my hair and braided it for about 60 seconds and said you look like you could be my little sister and she hugged me and smelled my hair and said "Sweet as honey". She smelled a little tiny bit like cig. smoke, a little like alcohol but a very heavy wonderful perfume underneath. I don't even know if I could describe the scent, but it was very unusual and I have NEVER smelled a scent like that before since and I have tried because it was so far out there and unusual. Her hair smelled like wheat,a very clean smell with a hint of whatever exotic perfume she had on and very soft, she had it up and then later she took it down. Everyone was smoking so that's probably why she had a little smoke on her. I remember her hands and wrists being as small as mine, and I was a little girl. She did not stop talking, smiling and laughing the whole time. She had long nails painted red and tons of delicate jewelry on but no boots, she had on colored painty hose with strap on heels, and she was just magical. Everything she is to everyone's eyes.. Here is the wild thing, Everyone has a hard time with this but it is the truth.... After some time went on Stevie and her 3 friends left the table and I have no idea where they were, I was watching all the crazy adults etc. I had to use the little girl's room. Barbara pointed and told me to go down the hall and where to find the bathroom. When I went down the hall and turned the corner, alone, there was Stevie, leaned against the wall with one of her shoes in her hand, she was on her tip toes, kissing Lindsey. I quickly went into the bathroom. Came out, told my Mom and Barbara, and Barbara just smirked and my Mom explained it later to me. My Mom had a friend come get me when it was getting late so I only saw a few songs they sang. At the time I had no idea about the big dynamic of her and Lindsey or their status etc. Through the years and my Mom telling me I realized Stevie and Lindsey were broken up and he was with Carol at the time. So that was my one tiny epic moment in life. One thing I noticed is she was different from all the other women there. Everyone would be dead silent when she spoke. She had a real other worldy feel about her that I felt even as a small girl. I remember thinking, I want to be just like her when I grow up. She also talked in a sweet baby voice when she spoke to me. She gave my Mother's friend some type of rock if I remember correct. She was A very animated woman. She spoke briefly to me about music and I told her I danced to her songs and she just said sweet things to me, but she was having 20 conversations going at the same time. I wish I would have been an adult when I met her. I would have fired off a million questions. That's about it. I do have photos of me and her and of the night, I can share them if told where to put them, like which post,thread. I commented on the Harris post because I am reading the first part of her book and I found a few possible lies that I thought hardcore FM fans could clear up. I had no idea there were several books out there so I just finished Ken's book and now I have carol's book and Mick's left to read. I was a huge fan of FM but after Tusk and her first solo album I lost interest some what, but it all came back this past year for some reason and I am now trying to catch up on everything and fell in love with them all over again. I hope no one was wanting a huge epic story to share but it was epic for me. more so now that I am older. That's about it. Now I have weeks to read everything on this board, what a task!
